Ethnography Project

Hey everybody! I became a member here in order to conduct an ethnographic research project on online communities for my social networking class. Could anyone tell me about their experience on this website or with any other online community they're involved with? This is all new to me!

My Grandpa on my mom's side is Portuguese but has French descendants. My Grandma on my dad's side is Mexican but has Italian descendants. I'm 100% American, and 100% African American where it counts. this qualifies me to participate in this community.

Now would you like to know about the pedophilia forum I like to frequent too?

This is just a thought, but you may want to consider reviewing a few threads and then asking a few more directed questions.

People were very welcoming to me when I joined. They're a great group.

Good luck on your research.

Thank you for the input! I've been exploring different communities and replying to threads as well. I chose this as my forum of study because I'm a runner and I figured that it would be logical to become a part of a community where my input would have relevancy. I'm able to discuss running and I appreciate that this site has a NRR forum where I can test the waters with this subject.

So is this the place for the sex survey? I'm about to get all sorts of real up in this joint. Wait...what.... that's another thread? Well damn, how many "studies" are going on in this place. I feel like a zoo animal (but hopefully not a Giraffe or Lion in a Copenhagen zoo...)
